How to Become a Professional Games Tester | Cosmin Burescu Interview

[@guruprashanthrao1093]

As someone who has worked as QA tester at AAA studio, I can say a lot has changed in QA from when this video was filmed and uploaded to now. Game testing was about "Breaking the game" and Now it is as similar to "Game as a software" testing with different testing techniques/principles. Whatever he has mentioned in this video is just referring to "Play Testing" which happens ones Unit & Integration testing is done. But yes a good video for someone who wants to enter the industry, would love to see an updated or a 2022 view point on this.

[@cosminbury]

Not a lot of things changed since than :D The principles are still the same ;)

Nice Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you researched - Ethanton Gamify Extinguishing (probably on Google)?

[@platy9586]

20-21 isn't too late, in case anyone felt discouraged. Most QA positions require a degree which is kind of impossible to get before your 20/21 years old.

[@cosminbury]

I've seen people even around 30 years old switching to this type of job, no problem there :)

[@xliproblox]

Dude I'm a 15 year old junior lol I thought I was young 🤣

Well.. to get a full time job, usually you need to be at least 18 (depends on the country). Finish high school, I will always also encourage pursuing higher education aka. college/university, work maybe during summer break because you will have plenty of time to work after finishing with school :)

@@cosminbury i have a couple of questions if you could help me. I don't have anything passed a high school education but game testing is my dream job. Unfortunately i live in a very small town in Texas and i don't think there are any places near. How would i go about becoming a game tester? Can someone like me even get the job? I have about 20 years of gaming under my belt. And about 5 of those are competitive.

[@cosminbury]

@@wigglytuffgaming Game tester is a entry level job, so high-school should be enough. If you don't want to move to a town where the big gaming companies are, you could always try freelancing, I know there are some platforms out there, but never used one, not sure if you can make living off of them, and overall I don't really trust them. I would recommend to see where is the closest gaming studio of any company, and try wither to commute there or to move as close as possible to that studio. Yes, I believe anyone can get become a game tester, you need English skills (for those in non-English spiking countries), basic logic and common sense, to be a team-player/social, and love games :) When you say competitive, does that mean tournaments, professional gaming league, championships like in the big stuff? If yes, there are companies that hire such pro-players for balancing testing teams. Hope this helps, best of luck! Like and share to spread the word :D

My 19 year old son is autistic. He plays video games every waking hour. It is his passion. I want to know how he could become a game tester. Do you have any austic people working as testers?

[@cosminbury]

I think there may be companies that hire people with disabilities or special needs (I hope I am not offending anyone by saying this), but playing games is one thing, testing them is really different and involves paying attention to details, and being able to report them using a specific template and standards. Nevertheless, I encourage your son to try to get a job in the gaming industry, I am sure he will be treated equally in the interview and selection phase.

[@sammymemstar1763]

>Ubisoft. >Game breaks on release. Must be a great tester.

[@cosminbury]

Hating for nothing, never heard of an Ubisoft game to break for everyone on launch. If you had a problem, it's most likely a local one, depending on the software or hardware you have. Contact the Ubisoft forums with your problem, or just look on the existing threads, you might find a solution.

[@cosminbury]

@@adamsala9291 Hey Adam, I'm glad that your son is passionate about games, if he can find ways to break them it's perfect for a game tester, if he can think about solutions on how to fix them it's even better. If he wants a career in the gaming industry, he should have been the one to write here ;) Nevertheless, it's not necessary to show me his skills, I encourage him to go online on any job-platform to search for a position as tester in the gaming industry close to his home. For Ubisoft, they have their own job/career section on their website, you and especially him can take a look there on open positions.

[@cosminbury]

Yes, sometimes some people don't see a pretty important issue, because they are used to do that mission/area, that is why teams usually change their testing area so a fresh eye can have a look at it from time to time. You need to do some pretty bad stuff to get fired, but as bug reporting goes, each part of the game is checked by a lot of people, so you should not worry :)

I have never tested games... but im qctester and have some exp. in c# and MSsql xD but what are you looking for?.. im just being curious

[@dominic4120]

Do you need to have basic programming knowledge to become a game tester?

[@cosminbury]

No, you don't, it's an entry level job. If you have, extra knloedge always helps, but it's not mandatory.

[@noobEmata]

salut cosmin, sunt foarte pasionat de munca pe care o depui, spune-mi te rog avand in vedere experienta ta, sosul de maaioneza cu usturoi se pune pe lipie sau peste cartofi/carne

[@cosminbury]

Doar peste carne si cartofi, pe lipie se pune ketchup ;)

Great Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you tried - Ethanton Gamify Extinguishing (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great one off product for getting paid to play video games without the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my buddy at very last got excellent success with it.

[@alex-ip1er]

Cheers for the Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard about - Ethanton Gamify Extinguishing (do a search on google)? It is an awesome exclusive product for getting paid to play video games minus the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my good mate called Gray got cool success with it.

[@leftertiberiuvlad]

Nice video content! Sorry for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you tried - Ethanton Gamify Extinguishing (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a smashing one off guide for getting paid to play video games minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my close friend Aubrey at very last got cool results with it.

What do you think of gtcoin, game tester coin. It is going to launch later in the year. Do you think this is a worth while concept to get involved with?

[@burburyku]

Crypto currency has it's ups and downs, maybe it will pick up but I don't see the need for it and may have bad consequences in the gaming industry.

Video starts at 9:10

[@cosminbury]

Everything has an intro :P

[@MinaAzizGeorge]

I see nothing hard in testing games and finding bugs or iam wrong

[@cosminbury]

At the beginning, no, but there is a lot of work further one, not just playing and finding bugs. Documents, statistics, design, plans... and it gets even more and more while you progress in seniority. It's basically like any development job/field, you start doing the easy part and learning constantly, till you start coming up with your own ideas to implement in your work, train new people, management, and so on..

[@jigsawsgametrap4761]

how can I apply?

[@cosminbury]

Search for the closest games developing studio, look at what openings they have and send them your CV, it's that simple :)

[@saharshtalele7316]

Can u plz tell,Which software is using for game testing in ubisoft??

[@cosminbury]

Sorry, but no, the software used for any job in any company is usually confidential ;)

[@fanaticalplel1003]

Could it be a side/part time job?

[@cosminbury]

Yes it could be, I did start as part time and moved on to full time job.

[@VermillionThaKid]

I can't even get started anywhere. Where do I go??

[@cosminbury]

On your preferred job searching platform, it's and entry level position, so just search for such jobs in your area or country and apply :)

[@fanaticalplel1003]

Does it pay well?

[@cosminbury]

It can start rather low, it's an entry level job, but it can get up to a comfortable salary.

[@fanaticalplel1003]

Cosmin Bury well... every job is like that. Just gotta be committed and dedicated

[@cosminbury]

@@fanaticalplel1003 True, although some believe that this job is just playing games and getting money, and it's far from it.

Hi I have a couple questions for Cosmin Burescu. I want to start off by saying there aren't any gaming studios close to me I'm in Mississippi. I have an Associate in Computer Programming ,but I always wanted to deal with video games. How can I get a job as a game tester if there aren't any close. Can video game tester's work from home? Also I've seen link to websites with like get paid to play video games. Do you know of these to be legitimate sources, or scams.

[@cosminbury]

Hey, I think there might be some freelancing jobs in game testing, that you might be able to do from home, but you will have to search online for it. If you have any degree and knowledge in programming, you might be able to do that in gaming, so try to find a job in that area, also freelancing in game programming might be available.

[@dgvloggs7365]

Hi, I m from India. I wanna be a game tester where should i apply for that job . i m begiener for or i can say that m fresher. for this field. so what can i do give me some suggestions.

Than, apply for a game tester job, it can grow into a good career.

[@AntiCx_edits]

@@cosminbury can u guide me how to I'm not able to get in trying for couple of months

[@cosminbury]

@@AntiCx_edits I'm not sure how, for me it was simple, just made a CV, as nice as I could, an intention letter (not sure if it's a standard everywhere), I got called in for an interview and test, nothing special or complicated, and I was hired as a junior game tester, than progressed in seniority, changed departments, production, and now management. What tips I gave people along the way are to be honest and to be enthusiast, standard for any interview, and don't give up, apply as many times to as many jobs as possible, don't be afraid to go to an interview, I actually encourage it, good or bad result the experience gained is valuable.

For a game tester position, you don't need any experience, basically all you need is good English skills and a passion for games. You can look for a game tester position in a company near you, go to the interviu and see how it is, and maybe you will get a full time job :) There is also this interview that might help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXXSY3Z6gamSppo
